Seven Card Stud
How to Play the Game
Note: To play Seven Card Stud you must have enough credits
to place an ante and a bet.
Place an ante on the table.
Note: The ante amount is set by the card room. There is
no ante amount when the game stakes are $0.50/$1.00.
You are dealt three cards: two pocket cards and one visible
card.
The Player with the lowest card must bring-in the betting.
A round of betting begins. Players can either:
· Fold
· Call
· Raise
· Check
After all the Players have contributed the same amount to
the pot, the Fourth Street betting begins.
The bet amounts are raised to the high limit in the Fifth
Street and Sixth Street.
The last phase of Seven Card Stud is the Seventh Street.
The outcome of the game is determined in this phase.
Tips
A big pair is worth betting on, unless another Player is
betting aggressively on what seems to be a very good hand.
Fifth Street is a make-or-break point. As the bet amount
doubles each round, ensure your hand can produce a win at
the end of the game. This will minimize your loss.
It is advisable to fold if another Player's exposed cards
beat your entire hand.
If you are trying to complete a Straight, check to see if
the cards you need are displayed by another Player. You
can then adjust your strategy accordingly.
Fold when necessary. Seven Card Stud Poker is a game of
patience, so do not bet all your money on losing hands.
